Public can exchange any number of these old series notes from the bank branches where they have their accounts, the central bank said, adding non-customers of a bank will have to furnish proof of identity and residence to the bank branch in which they want to exchange more than 10 pieces of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.
